Yeah, there's really no defending the episode at this point. I think at the time, it was a nice change of pace from the couple episodes that preceded it. But now that the picture is complete, this is easily the worst episode of LOST ever! And it has been universally acknowledged by the fans and by the producers/writers as that. They knew where the show was going but had to wait to execute

This episode really annoyed me. The Thailand scenes were unrealistic, and the actor isn't thai, and the tattoo is Chinese...and I don't see why those Thai guys would realistically give a shit that Jack got that tattoo. I also thought it was unrealistic and stupid that Jack physically forced the poor girl to tattoo him. Poor episode.

Possibly anonymous! That makes about as much sense as anything! I still haven't rewatched that episode to see the 2 boats as this is one mystery I haven't lost sleep over! :-) lol

I think the boat in the background is the bigger boat that Jack and Juliet were later on. They had to take the smaller boat (that Ben was on) out to the bigger boat. That's what it looked like to me at least!

Hmmm, I never saw the boat there. Of course, this is probably an episode of LOST that I have watched the least of all of them. (3 years later it is looked at as officially the worst episode of LOST lol)<br /><br />But, if there was a boat there, I&#39;m guessing it was by accident. It may have been a &quot;safety boat&quot; in case something went wrong during filming. Or it may have been a

Hm.. I have a question... when they leave the smaller island in the end of Episode 9... they put Ben on a small boat... in sunset... and behind them.. on the sea... is a LARGE boat... ??? Is this.. an error??

I loved how we got a little look inside the room where they had the trial and there was the stand with the DHARMA logo on...<BR/><BR/>I also liked how Jack called it 'his room' when Juilette was being moved into there after being bad...and take me back to 'my cage'...<BR/><BR/>I thought that maybe the 3 mysteries might have been: Jack's tattoos...wooppee(!); What happened to Cindy and the kids

I agree that this was basically a setup episode. I guess we have to have these from time to time. I read that the creators of the show are heavily inspired by Stephen King. Haven't you read a King novel and stumbled onto a 30-page background of one of the main characters? I kind of equate this episode with that. <BR/><BR/>The "looking up at the same stars" scene was vomit-inducing. And ABC should

Jack's tattoo is a sak yant, a spiritual marking that is believed to have supernatural powers. There's lots of interesting stuff on the web about this, including something about 5 principles (hence number 5 in jack's tattoo?). Apparently he got beat down b/c it's a sacred thing to be protected. They do not want the spirituality of the marking to be LOST. <BR/><BR/>http://www.sak-yant.com/<BR/

Oh right...Ethan was a surgeon. I don't think we knew that for sure until last night.

I forgot to mention that the Tattoo Jack got in Phuket was not Jack's COMPLETE tattoo that he has on the island. Is everyone ready for the continuing saga of the evolution of Jack's Tattoo? I'm so intrigued!

<I>Rather, 1 Minor Mystery would be semi-resolved...that of Jack's Tattoo (more on this EXCITING revelation (yawn) in a bit!) So, don't get mad at the show. Get mad at ABC, and in the future take everything they claim in the promos with a grain of salt. </I><BR/><BR/>Pointless!<BR/><BR/><I>The stupid thing is...it's actually Matthew Fox's real tattoo, and the producers have seemed determined to
